Christopher, I filed the report and subscribled you.
For others following here.
Did also find out in my case it happens when the monitor is attached
with a VGA cable.
It does not happen if I use a DVI cable to connect the monitor.
Still have to test have to test with monitor connected on HDMI
Public bug reported:
If I connect my monitor to my computer with a VGA cable, I have to stop
at the grub menu and add 'nomodeset' to the kernel options with all the
4.4.0-* kernels.
If I do not add 'nomodeset' to the kernel options, my monitor goes
blank, complains of no video signal, then goes
Symptoms are as reported by others. Whether it's during boot or
attempting to enable after boot up. Screen goes black, reports no video,
then goes to sleep.
When it happens on boot, I can hit 'Ctrl'+'Alt'+'Del' or hit the power
button and the machine will reboot or shut down so things are still
Don't know where mode setting broke, had my box set aside for a while,
so didn't get all my normal updating in.
I'm on Yakkety.
The most recent Ubuntu kernel that I have on my machine that did KMS was
4.3.0-5.16
None of the 4.4 kernels images work without adding nomodeset to the grub
options.
Is it a prerequisite?
It was done in the past so there is a strong argument that is should
continue.
If it is Ubuntu policy that '~/.profile' get sourced by the display
manger, all the display managers should do it and the sample file should
not indicate it is intended for the login shell.
Somebody posted a similar issue in the Debian mailing list recently, the
recommendation there was to use '~/.xsessionrc'.

Title:
Sorry about not keeping up on this, had to give up the system this was
happening as a loaner for a little bit.
I'm attaching the last term.log file where this was failing.
I finally got around it by looking at the installed gconf stuff to come
up with this:
dpkg --purge --force-depends
With the most recent update attempt, I get this now
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of gconf2:
gconf2 depends on gconf-service (= 3.2.4-0ubuntu2); however:
Version of gconf-service on system is 3.2.5-0ubuntu1.
dpkg: error processing gconf2 (--configure):
dependency
Public bug reported:
first had a complaint during gconf upgrade that libgconf version would
break gconf less than the version I was attempting to upgrade but the
older version that should have been removed to make way for the newer
version was being configured.
Then purged gconf2 attempted
